Moving company in Amsterdam
Moving in Amsterdam runs smoothly with Kade Verhuizingen, a premium Netherlands wide mover with a calm, professional approach to the city's famous canal houses. We help internationals relocate into and within Amsterdam every week, whether you are joining a tech employer, a creative studio, or an international institution. Our English speaking team knows the narrow stairs, tight doorways, and hoisting needs that come with classic Amsterdam homes. With a fixed price and full insurance, you get a premium move without the usual canal house stress.
Why internationals choose Kade in Amsterdam
Moving in Amsterdam means canal houses with stairs the width of a ladder, gable hooks instead of lifts, and narrow streets where parking is a daily battle, and that is exactly the kind of move we are built for. Kade is a premium, NIWO recognised mover with a fully English speaking team, working to the AVVV 2025 terms. You get one fixed price up front, fully insured up to 30,000 euro, with no naheffing and no moving-day surprises.
Grachtenpand and hoisting specialists
We hoist sofas, beds, and pianos through the window via the gable hook on canal houses in the Jordaan and Grachtengordel, where the staircase was never meant for furniture.
Parkeerontheffing sorted for you
We arrange the parking exemption for tight streets in De Pijp and Oud-Zuid, so the van stops at your door instead of three canals away.
Fixed price, no naheffing
Your quote covers the hoisting, the stairs, and the access challenges, and the number never changes after the work is done.
English speaking from start to finish
Made for tech and creative expats, our team handles your whole move in clear English, from survey to the final box.
Moving in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is full of tall canal houses and grachtenpanden with steep, narrow staircases, which is why many items are hoisted through the window using the classic hook on the gable. In neighbourhoods like the Jordaan, De Pijp, and Oud-West a parking permit, the parkeerontheffing, is essential to reserve space for the truck on busy, narrow streets. Newer flats in Amsterdam-Noord and Oost are easier to access, and we assess lifts and entrances before moving day.
If you are new to the Netherlands, our English speaking team explains hoisting, parking permits, and building access so your Amsterdam move feels effortless from start to finish.
Areas we cover in Amsterdam
Everything about moving in Amsterdam
How do you get furniture into a canal house with those stairs?
The famous Amsterdam grachtenpand was built tall and narrow, with spiral or near-vertical stairs that defeat most large furniture, which is why these houses have a gable hook at the top. We use that hook, or bring our own furniture lift, to hoist sofas, mattresses, wardrobes, and even pianos straight through the window. Everything is rigged, padded, and insured before it leaves the ground. You watch your belongings float up to the third floor instead of wedging them around a corner that will not give.
Can you handle parking on a narrow Amsterdam street?
Parking is often the hardest part of an Amsterdam move, with permit-only zones, bollards, bikes, and streets barely wider than the van. We apply for your parkeerontheffing in advance so a stretch of road outside your door is reserved for the day. In neighbourhoods like the Jordaan and De Pijp this can be the difference between a two-hour job and a half-day of carrying. We handle the paperwork and the timing so you do not have to think about it.
Do you know the Jordaan, De Pijp, and Oud-Zuid?
These are some of the most characterful and most demanding areas we work in. The Jordaan brings narrow lanes and tiny canal-side entrances, De Pijp adds busy market streets and dense flats, and Oud-Zuid mixes grand apartments with protected staircases and lifts that need booking. We adapt the plan to each, choosing the right vehicle size, the right access method, and the right time of day. The local knowledge is included, so your move feels effortless from your side.
What it costs
A clear fixed price for your move in Amsterdam
Amsterdam pricing reflects your floor, the staircase, and whether we hoist through the window or arrange a furniture lift and parkeerontheffing. Once we have surveyed your home we give you one fixed price for the entire job, hoisting included. That figure is final and fully insured up to 30,000 euro, so there is never a naheffing afterwards.
Moving to Amsterdam, answered
That is one of the most common situations we solve in Amsterdam. We hoist the sofa through the window using the gable hook or our furniture lift, fully padded and insured, so the stairs are no longer a problem.
